About this title

Synopsis:

Talking about movies, men, motherhood and mis, this work presents the autobiography of a Hollywood icon. It is a laugh-out-loud funny, inspiring autobiography from one of Hollywood's best-loved comediennes. Academy Award nominee Teri Garr, star of classic movies "Young Frankenstein", "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "Mr. Mom and Tootsie", writes about her life with the same wit and warmth that have won the hearts of fans for over three decades. From sipping Cokes with Elvis Presley to hanging out with the Beatles; from her secrets to succeeding in Hollywood without losing her sanity; to dealing with the fear, anxiety and denial of being plagued by mysterious physical problems that eluded diagnosis for over 20 years - the insights in "Speedbumps", while always conducted with Garr's trademark humour, are honest, heartfelt and often profound.
